6.4.1- Compressor faults 6.4.1.1 - General
Each compressor is protected against multiple faults by two digital inputs located on the control board. If one of these inputs opens, it causes an immediate shutdown on the compressor without any action from the basic board.

ALARM CODE DESCRIPTIONS
DGT (only for units with low-temperature option):
The discharge gas thermostat detects and protects the compressor against abnormally high discharge temperatures.
Starter Guard:
This board patented by Carrier (also called AM board) monitors both the compressor regime and the status of its crankcase heaters which ensure correct lubrication when the compressor starts.
